Zoysia Lawn Care Products

Zoysia Seed

There are VERY few Zoysia seeds on the market, most FINE blade Zoysia is sold via sod or plugs. The Zoysia seed that Doc used is listed below and is a medium thickness blade, but germination and establishment went VERY well.  Keep in mind, while many seeds germinate in 3-5 days, Zoysia can take up to 12 days.

Fertilizers

PGF Complete 16-4-8 is one of the TOP selling lawn fertilizers and is your GO TO BASE FERTILIZER for Zoysia. TINY particles give you the BEST distribution and the balanced SLOW released nutrients are perfect. It also contains IRON, MICRO Nutrients, and HUMIC DG.

Grubs – Bugs – Armyworms

Doc’s #1 choice for total bug, grub, and armyworm control is the “double kill” Duocide below.  He recommends that all lawns get at least one treatment in the early fall or late summer. Not only will this kill grubs, but mole crickets, army worms, ants, fleas, ticks, and more pests.

Quick Kill Spray – Doc likes permethrin spray for army worms, mole crickets, ticks and fleas. read the label for application rates. This is dog safe (not cat safe) and is often used on livestock.

Lawn Fungus Prevent and Treatments

The typical application rate range for Prophesy fungicide is 2.5 – 5.0 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. Prophesy is labeled to suppress or control: brown patch, dollar spot, anthracnose, summer patch, take all patch, fusarium patch, and many more common turf diseases.

Green Spray Dye

Best Reel Mower

Doc’s favorite reel mower is the Mclane 25″ series linked below. He has MANY videos explaining why.

 

 

 

 

Best Large Lawn Spreader

Once you USE IT… you’ll fall in love with its performance. 

With more and more lawn treatments become lighter, the SIZE of your hopper becomes more important.  The new ProGrade spreader is the perfect balance of hopper volume capacity, (15 gallons) carry weight (100 pounds), quality and price. (About $300 including shipping)  It’s a mid range on the price scale for lawn spreaders, but handles like a professional $600 unit.
